PIXEL PITCHThe center-to-center distance between two pixels (photosites) on a sensor. The larger the photosites, the more light they can capture and the lower is the level of visible "noise" in captured images.

LOW-PASS FILTERA low-pass filter blurs fine details of an image to eliminate the moiré and the color artifacts of finely patterned structures. Without a low-pass filter images will appear sharper, but there is also a risk of moiré occurring in certain scenes.

Best for Landscapes ? A good landscape camera should offer high resolution and wide dynamic range; it should also be weather-sealed. Best for Sports & Action ? Excellent autofocus and high-ISO performance, high continuous shooting speed and good buffer capacity are crucial for a good sports & action camera. Weather-sealing is an advantage. Best for Low Light ? Cameras for available light photography should maintain a good image quality when shooting at high ISO settings and have an efficient autofocus in low-light conditions. Best Connected Cameras ? Cameras for "connected life" should be lightweight, not too big and offer touch screen as well as built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. Affordable All-Rounders ? These cameras are good for beginners. They combine good image quality with affordability and a basic set of features.
